My HEAVILY Modified 5th Gen...at a STEAL!!!
Well, folks, I am sorry to say that I am moving away from the Maxima world and will be letting my beloved Max go. I had all intentions of keeping her forever, but, well, she has to go...
I am going to post up the mod list tonight, pics to come this weekend as I finish up some final things on her. She runs like a DREAM and shifts better then some new cars.
I have poured countless hours in to this car as you well know and easily has more value in the modifications then the car itself.
HEART & SOUL
143,000 on the motor
**BRAND NEW** 5 Speed, full transmission rebuild in June (1-year warranty from Cottman)
Larrio's Shifter Bushing (this was one of the best upgrades EVAR!!!)
Mobil-1 Syn every 5,000 miles (just changed)
Auto Rx every oil change
Seafoam every oil change
Chevron Techron every 3,000 miles
NGK Iridiums
Amsoil AE Air Filter
**BRAND NEW** Cabin Filter
***BRAND NEW*** Alternator
***BRAND NEW*** Starter
***BRAND NEW*** Brakes (Rotors & Pads)[
SUSPENSION
Tokico Illuminas
H&R Drop
Otto Strutbar
Stillen Rear Swaybar
Bridgestone Serenity Tires wtih about 10/32 tread (NOT CHEAP)
**BRAND NEW** - Control Arms
**BRAND NEW** - Balljoints
**BRAND NEW** - Tie rods
**BRAND NEW** - Motor Mounts (all)
**BRAND NEW** - Subframe bushings
AUDIO
Dynaudio 360 tweeters and 8" mids (3-way frontstage)
Morel domes in kickpanels (3-way frontstage)
Rainbow Audio SL165 in rear
Alpine DVA 9965 (DVD Player)
7" Microvision LCD
PAC SWI-X (Integration of factory steering wheel control)
iPod connection
Stinger Expert speaker cable
System pre-wired for amp hook-up with 1/0 AWG Stinger Expert in trunk
About $1,000 of sound deadening
INTERIOR
Complete two-tone interior throughout
Custom leather seats
Fully customized interior (LEDs galore, custom switches)
EXTERIOR
Full Stillen lip kit
Full repaint in Black (spring 2009)
Street Scenes grille w/ original grille cut-out
EXTRAS
A BUNCH of extra parts for interior, FSB, full HID kit (McCullough bi-xenon, just never installed), I'd have to take pictures of it all, too much to list
NEEDS A FIXIN'
Ok, so, everything is good to go, right? ...ehhhh, not so much. The car will need a new rear bumper installed, I have one that has not been installed, so that's on you...THE REPLACEMENT, NEW, OE BUMPER IS INCLUDED. Additionally, a read ABS sensor needs to be replaced, I have one you can cut and splice, but will need to be installed.
BUT, even with that being said, you're getting quite the steal for only needing to install the bumper and ABS sensor with a babied car that has so many brand new things on it. I would honestly tackle these myself, but I just don't have the time anymore.

Sale is still pending, though, but I will keep everyone updated in the event that she does not sell to the current buyer.
To the other prospective buys whom have sent PMs, replies were issued this morning.

That's not your car and this is a scam ... J/K
Good luck with the sale ...
What's the new car? I know you said no pics until the first round of mods ... But can you tell us what it is at least?

Thanks for the well-wishing...fingers, toes, and any other crossable appendage are crossed on my end (well, within reason) 
Update will be on Saturday, the gent whom is planning on picking her up is flying up from Alabama to pick her up. He already scored some '06 M35 19" wheels for her, which are going to look SICK, so I think it's relatively safe to say she's going to be in good hands.
More to come, another member, Teaner, helped out and got the rear bumper cover installed in exchange for an LED conversion, so I'm going to try and get some final "complete" pics up before she's gone.
Bittersweet, I must admit...
